Your first trout on a fly rod is a memory that sticks. This collection removes the guesswork from a first setup: a ready-matched combo or a dedicated 5 weight, tapered leaders that turn over cleanly, a starter selection of proven trout patterns, and a landing net that protects the fish you worked so hard to fool. Pick one item from each section and go fish. Matched rod and reel combos. The all-around 5 weight. Tapered leaders. Proven trout flies. Landing nets.
